Don't Push Her Away

she was prepared for your stupidity

Marceline already had a guy in line to take your place the minute you broke up? I’m SHOCKED! A girl had a BACKUP for the man she was dumping? I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! Call the Guinness Book of World Records! Call Ripley’s Believe It or Not! This has to be the first time in 6,000 years that a girl has had someone waiting in the wings when she couldn’t stand the sight of her boyfriend anymore. And believe me, man, when Marceline thought of you, she felt sick.

The new turkey is playing doctor to your ex, but she’s just using him for convalescence because she feels wounded, even though you’re the one who’s dead.

You’re talking to friends about your ex? “Others” are Blockers! Like my cousin General Love says, “You could never have worked as a spy during World War II!”

This entire fiasco should leave you sad and hurt, because you’re not a robot. At one time this girl was practically begging you to marry her. Now she has to run for the Alka-Seltzer every time she thinks of you. She went from one extreme to the other. Like my cousin Brother Love down in Watts says, “What did you do to her, baby?”

you get a failing grade

Obama, learn to do what most people won’t do. Take responsibility for your actions. There is such a thing as cause and effect at work here. And the saddest part is, you know your stuff! I can tell from your letter that you understand my techniques from “The System.” You sound like a very intelligent guy in fact. But when it comes to the subject of Emotional Control, you get an “F.”

Who cares whether the new guy is a Rebound for your ex? It’s her Interest Level in you that you should be worried about. But like my cousin Sal “The Fish” Love says, “Think about this, paisan — they love to slow dance together.”

She wants to play with you. She wants to give you false hope. She wants to see how much you’ll grovel. So don’t play her game.

You’re the one here whose heart has been gutted and you’re worried about her new boyfriend being ticked off? Instead, you should be begging me, “Doc, tell me what to do in the future! Help me to get off my hands and knees, stand with my shoulders square and have a little pride!”

If you try to cause these two any misery, the only inconvenience they’ll suffer is switching off the phone and turning on the answering machine while they practice more slow dancing.

Remember, guys: It’s one thing if you don’t know what to do, but if you know what to do and don’t do it, then you’re double-dumb.
